Answer:
B Sometimes people take advantage of the kindness of their friends.
Explanation:
"Lazy Anansi" is an African folktale from the state of Ghana which tells the story of how spiders came to have long, thin legs. The story also deals with a good moral of why it is bad manners to rely on or take advantage of other people's goodness.
The tale tells how Anansi, a lazy spider would depend on others for his meals, visiting one friend after another for their food. And amidst this habit, he got stuck with everyone's offer to eat with them. And thus ended up hurting his own body when they all pulled his web to let him know the food was ready. And in the process of doing so, the friends had unknowingly hurt him physically, thus leading to the thin and long legs of spiders.
Thus, the <u>main theme of the fable is that sometimes people take undue advantage of the kindness and goodness of others, like he spider Anansi.</u>
In looking at the answer choices, a few can be dismissed immediately. From the passage it doesn't seem that the dismissal of the narrator's questions affects her too much. Therefore we can eliminate answers that show a drastic change in the narrator's emotions (the narrator feeling inadequate, lacking control, and fearing she may be doomed). The only answer left is that the narrator is dismissed. In gothic literature women are often seen as helpless, innocent victims.
